The feds want to know who’s been visiting the Web site of voting watchdog Bev Harris, and they’re likely to get what they want.

by George Howland Jr.

"In the past 20 months, Harris has become America’s leading critic of electronic voting (see “Black Box Backlash,� March 10). Her reporting on the problems with new computer voting machines has been a key component in a national, grassroots movement to safeguard voting. Her astounding discoveries have resulted in important studies by distinguished computer scientists. She has been leaked thousands of pages of internal memos from Diebold Election Systems, one of the country’s leading electronic voting companies. She is frequently cited by newspapers across the country and is a guest on national and local television and radio stations. Thousands of people visit her Web site and participate in its reader forums. Now, Harris claims, the government wants our names, forum messages, and computer addresses.

Following the advice of her lawyer, Harris will not talk publicly about the government’s investigation. Seattle Weekly used postings from Harris’ Web site and interviewed other people involved with the investigation to put together this account."

I found this article, via WorldNetDaily.com, and I say that this courageous woman, Bev Harris and her website and it's companion, deserves a long and hearty thank you from every one of us- well, maybe not Diebold. One can find quite a bit of information and what people think on Diebold, via this Google search link and information on electronic voting, here and there, as Diebold is not the only game in town.

If, perchance though, anyone thinks that electronic voting is a good thing, then I have some swamp- er, wetlands and old growth-bottom land for sale- cheap. (ACT FAST! Plots are going quickly!)
